Artist and feminist, born and lived in Glasgow, who studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee, and at Kunst Akademie, Karlsruhe, Germany. Her Top of the Will, 1998, was included in East International at Norwich School of Art & Design, 1999, and she participated in the Hayward Gallery tour The British Art Show 5, 2000–1, and the Venice Biennale, 2003. In that year, McKenzie was featured in Art Now, at Tate Britain. As part of her project there, MMIV, she presented a new film showing edited footage of her live performance with Gdansk artist Paula Olowska. In this, they played caricatured roles of “working women”: an architect and an artist. Among McKenzie’s later solo exhibitions were If It Moves, Kiss It, at Galerie Christian Nagel, Berlin, 2002, and Brian Eno at NAK, Aachen, 2003.
